Self employed Electrician set up query

Former Community Member

Hi


I'v just started my new business (as some of you may know from my previous posts) and I have a couple more queries I was hoping I could get assistance with..


1. If some1 has already laid the cables and I'm just connecting up the sockets - Can this be classed as non notifiable? Would I be OK doing a minor works certificate for it?


2. I had plans of joining the NICEIC but was just wondering if there is a quicker route with another scheme to gain competent person status in order to not have to deal with Local authority fees - (I'm dreading the day im going to have to turn down a new circuit install because LA will be charging me £300+ to inspect)

    The other possible option is to find a "Third Party Verifier" - i.e. someone who's a member of one of the schemes and that has the extra accreditation to check & certify other people's work. I gather there aren't too many about, so there's no guarantee there'll be one in your area, but you might be lucky...

    Yes, but the third party verifier is expected to see and sign off 1st, 2nd fix and check or guarantee that the testing and commisioning is correct.

    Well, that was the expectation of NAPIT when I was one of the 3rd party verifiers.
